Employment

Students who come to camp will likely not remember all the details of the program but will remember the staff member who served as their Bible study leader. The heart behind FUGE is that students would experience Christ in a deeper, more intimate, life-changing way during their time at camp.

We are looking for college students and young adults who love the Lord, have a desire to serve, and are

passionate about students. If you are chosen to work FUGE this summer, you will work on a team committed to seeing students experience this life-change.

If you’re looking for the most rewarding and exhausting student ministry experience of your life, we welcome your application!

Please read below carefully, as this application process is different than most camps.

Our online application is available June 1 through May 1.

All applicants must complete an online application and have a personal interview.

We conduct both personal and SKYPE interviews.

We do both a fall placement (mid-December) and a spring placement. Applicants will be notified of placement either in mid December or mid April.

Age Requirements

Centrifuge and MFuge have age requirements which must be met by all applicants.

New for summer 2015: Applicants must turn 19 years of age or have completed their first year of college by June 1st to work Centrifuge or MFuge.

We do not hire high school students. If you are a high school student and are interested in working a FUGE camp in the future, we recommend the Student Leader Apprentice (SLA) program, SLA is a two-week experience for those entering or just completing their senior year in high school. The first week is dedicated to leadership development and Bible study, the second week the student is apprenticed to an Centrifuge or MFuge staffer. Nashville offers SLA participants the MFuge experience for their second week. Glorieta offers SLA participants the choice between Centrifuge or MFuge for their second week.
